Agua Brava by Antonio Puig in modern formula brings from the opening a citrus and aromatic herb bouquet, extremely fresh and as if you smelled fresh, wet herbs and juicy lemon. Dries down to dry aromatic woods. Its clove and patchouli notes seem faint to me, and its leather note just adds to the overall wood sensation and depth it possesses. Has a fair longevity, some 5 hours with some good 6 sprays or such. I advice on getting the 200ml bottle even thou it's a splash on, and just pour the fragrance into a smaller atomizer, and carry it around. Good for spring, summer, very fresh and dries to that chypre character. IMO get this instead of modern day compliment pullers, smell different to the bubblegummy - synthetic - whiskied hazelnut accords of today. Requires a bit of dressing - up (Flannel, denim, leather, a button up shirt, polished leather dress shoes or fully formal dressed)
Bottom line: Smells vintage, yes, but learn to love it and you can pull it off no problem. Price is ridiculous, i paid 18 USD for the 200ml bottle. On summer and spring smells great, a good powerhouse type - scent for warm and hot months, can be used either casual or formal, any age. On colder climates i would prefer its heavier brother, Quorum, since it is deeper, smokier, has a good dose of moss, tobacco, leather, musks. Both those frags can grant full coverage all year 'round for around 30 USD for both and smell amazing and well different than any perfume of today. If you are young, i'd advice having a bottle even thou you don't use it. Yet.
Maybe you'll be like me and a day when you will dislike modern stuff will come, and the green moss bottle with even greener juice will be waiting in your drawer. Greetings
